Abstract

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that negatively impacts physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of the Nguyen Van Huong health-preserving exercise combined with auricular acupressure in patients with insomnia. A total of 60 patients diagnosed with insomnia disorder at Saint Paul General Hospital were enrolled in a controlled clinical trial using a pre- and post-treatment comparison design. The patients were selected using convenience sampling and divided into two groups using a matching method to ensure equivalence in age, gender, and severity of insomnia: the intervention group received both auricular acupressure and the Nguyen Van Huong health-preserving exercise, while the control group received auricular acupressure alone. After 15 days of treatment, the intervention group showed significant improvements: average sleep duration increased from 3.13 ± 0.38 to 6.44 ± 0.39 hours; sleep onset latency decreased from 75.83 ± 10.99 to 25.33 ± 7.65 minutes; and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score dropped from 14.43 ± 0.86 to 3.57 ± 1.07. All changes were statistically significant (p < 0.01). Additionally, secondary symptoms associated with insomnia - such as fatigue, anxiety, poor concentration, and memory decline - also showed marked improvement. The overall therapeutic efficacy in the intervention group was significantly greater than in the control group (p < 0.05).
